Wagonry

There's not been much to report on the blog in the last week.

I was busy with more commercial casting, while Himself's been kept fully occupied on a top secret project to be revealed later this month.

Once my outside work was out of the way I have made a little more progress on the prototype of the well wagon.

Having previously cast the two side pieces I now needed to make some masters for the spacers which will give the wagon more strength.

These were made in styrene and then the first ones cast and fixed to the prototype.

The intention is for brass sections, etched with a durbar plate pattern, to be fixed on top.

My next task will be to sort out the bogies which - in true FR fashion - are not identical.
